Ameer Al Oudh by Lattafa Perfumes

I was looking for less oud and more essence, but this smells burnt and old-manly. I threw it away and never want to smell it again.

Smells like herbal remedy and camphor at first, then sweet with a frankincense base. It’s like a herb market—very Arab and for special occasions. Not for everyone, don’t buy blindly.

I got it as a combo with another one at a good price. The opening smells like a doctor’s office, but once it settles, it’s worth it. I’m using this more than the other now, strange as that may sound.

I bought it because it came as a ‘Combo’ with Ameer Al Oudh Intense at a super price. The opening is like going to the doctor’s office, but once it settles, you realize the purchase wasn’t a waste of money. Even today, I use it more than Ameer Al Oudh Intense, what are things coming to.

Heavily reviewed… to me, it reminds me of Tom Ford’s Tobacco Oud. Even if they don’t say so, I notice a pleasant sweet pipe tobacco. As it dries, it approaches Black Afgano, but the opening is definitely Tom Ford. Buy blindly if you have a trained nose and it’s ridiculously cheap.

Smells like almond liqueur at first and then like pencil shavings. It’s a clone of Stercus by Orto Parisi, but of worse quality and much more potent. It seems to last forever and is noticeable from kilometers away.

Lattafa perfume. A sweet oud without excess, slightly humid with a woody touch that leans it masculine. For those looking for something more, we have to go back to the original Arab perfumes, those reviewed by Darkbeat or Tonystar, who showed us a world of sensations.

It went terribly for me. It smells like synthetic soap mixed with sweat and pH, and the result is horrible.

Ameer Al Oudh by Lattafa: This is a perfume that requires some experience with extravagant oriental scents to understand and enjoy it. Yes, it has a synthetic side, but it doesn’t have to be bad and that sensation doesn’t last long. It’s not a conventional fragrance for young people or trendy, nor is it outdated; in fact, it’s very sophisticated. This is another world, for men who separate themselves from the common. It’s a work of art, a fusion of scents ranging from sexual provocation to admiration and contemplation, as if the scent reveals a life fully lived. It has a select audience and wears its beauty like a tattoo; for some, it’s opulent and beautiful, for others, misunderstood. I’m on the side of those who cherish it, because I enjoy unusual, outstanding, and even strange aromas. Its resemblance to Black Afgano is undeniable, but I like it more because it shows off the wood facet I adore without being so herbal, and that earthy side is fantastic. In short, for me, it’s a one-way trip, one of those I’ll never get tired of smelling. Medicinal, resinous, woody, smoky, and mysterious fragrance. Ideal for formal nights and cold weather. Scent: 10. Projection: Good (over 2 hours). Longevity: 8 hours on skin, 10 hours on clothes. Recommended.

A super synthetic smell that gives me direct headaches.

It’s a clone of Black Afgano. Smells medicinal and mysterious. I recommend it.

Definitely, I should have bought the Intense version of this fragrance. As described, it’s very similar to Black Afgano but less green. Artificial, slightly medicinal, slightly smoky, and lightly sweet oud, like they added burnt sugar. In the first hour, I faintly detect something like hookah (cypriol), a note I don’t get along with. Fortunately, that note passes without making or breaking, leaving a linear and persistent scent (about 8 hours in my case). It’s not a fragrance with wide projection; it radiates a bit more from your skin, but you perceive its sweet trail. Totally unisex. In fact, on a woman, this should look amazing. Very fair price (20€) and it includes a deodorant…which isn’t the same fragrance 😂 I’ve decided it: tomorrow I’ll use Black Afgano.

You have a Black Afgano vibe but less potent and without the complexity and depth of the original Black Afgano by Nasomatto. At first, it smells a bit of alcohol and has artificial sensations that prevent enjoying it well, but soon it settles and reveals a more pleasant, woody, and balsamic facet. On me, the projection and longevity are moderate. It’s a different and beautiful perfume that makes me reflect. It’s a good proposal worth knowing and will find approval among those seeking unconventional aromas. Thanks to my friend Darkbeat for his kindness.

It’s the first Lattafa perfume I’ve tried, thanks to Darkbeat’s Aladdin lamp. A sweet and woody note opens the experience, filling the air with an almost gourmand scent, like Lebanese Arab pastries offered at the start of the day. In the dry down, the oud stands out clearly, a note in all its animal and sheepy glory. Thanks to Darkbeat, I know, perhaps for the first time, the scent of authentic natural Cambodian oud and confirm the presence of a dark and deep oud rising from the forests. If I say that pure oud smells like a sheep pen, I’m not lying. If I say that a diluted drop is the most intoxicating aroma, I’m also not lying. Lattafa’s Ameer Al Oudh has that unmistakable background of animal and divine oud. The floral notes of rose and jasmine soften that intense aroma and elevate us to a state of well-being. The balsamic notes of labdanum frame that spectrum, waking us up to savor vanilla and sugar over sandalwood and amber, fusing taste and smell in a moment of carnal and spiritual transport.
